The train journey from Cusco to Machu Picchu is a highlight of any trip to the Andes. The 3 and a half to four hours journey takes you through a changing landscape. First there is a steep climb out of Cusco into the surrounding hillside, by means of a series of switchback turns known locally as "the zig zag".
